Well, I finally got my applications in for the first deadlines (December 1st--nothing like cutting it close!). I am now officially in the system for the University of Minnesota and Ohio State University. The other two that I'm applying for, Utah State University and University of Tennessee, aren't due until January and February, respectively, so I can stop stressing about them for a few weeks at least.
My advice to future graduate applicants: start early. REALLY early. Like nine months or more early. I think I've been researching schools since something like April, working on application materials since September, and actually been adding to specific applications for over a month, and I still felt like I was rushing.
I'm just happy to have these first applications out of my control. These two schools seem to be the most competitive, so I hope my applications stand up well. Anyhow you slice it, it's now in the hands of יהוה, so I'm happy.
Phew.......
